A housing including a reflective mirror, a light source or a speaker, a processor, and a microphone, wherein the housing is configured to couple to a wall, wherein the processor is coupled to the light source or the speaker and the microphone, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a voice sound from a user positioned in an operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the voice sound from the microphone and control the light source or the speaker based on the voice sound.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method comprising: receiving a housing including a reflective mirror, a processor, and a microphone, wherein the housing is configured to couple to a wall, wherein the processor is coupled to the microphone, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a voice sound from a user positioned in an operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the voice sound from the microphone and send an instruction based on the voice sound to a device spaced apart from the housing and external to the housing such that the device can receive the instruction.
2. A method comprising: receiving a housing including a reflective mirror, a light source, a processor, and a microphone, wherein the housing is configured to couple to a wall, wherein the processor is coupled to the light source and the microphone, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a voice sound from a user positioned in an operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the voice sound from the microphone and control the light source based on the voice sound.
3. A method comprising: receiving a housing including a reflective mirror, a processor, a microphone, and a speaker, wherein the housing is configured to couple to a wall, wherein the processor is coupled to the microphone and the speaker, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a voice sound from a user positioned in an operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the voice sound from the microphone and control the speaker based on the voice sound.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voice sound is a first voice sound, wherein the housing includes a light source, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a second voice sound from the user positioned in the operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the second voice sound from the microphone and control the light source based on the second voice sound.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the light source is a first group of light sources arranged in a first line and a second group of light sources arranged in a second line, wherein the reflective mirror extends between the first line and the second line.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the housing includes a bottom portion and a speaker, wherein the speaker is coupled to the processor, wherein the bottom portion includes a group of user input devices, wherein the group includes a first input device and a second user input device, wherein the first user input device is configured to control a sound level of the speaker, wherein the second user input device is configured to control a light level of the light source.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voice sound is a first voice sound, wherein the housing includes a speaker, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a second voice sound from the user positioned in the operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the second voice sound from the microphone and control the speaker based on the second voice sound.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voice sound is a first voice sound, wherein the housing includes a network receiver and a speaker, wherein the network receiver is coupled to the processor, wherein the speaker is coupled to the processor, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a second voice sound from the user positioned in the operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the second voice sound from the microphone, cause the network receiver to receive a music from a network appliance, and cause the speaker to output the music.
9. The method of claim 2 , wherein the voice sound is a first voice sound, wherein the housing includes a speaker, wherein the speaker is coupled to the processor, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a second voice sound from the user positioned in the operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the second voice sound from the microphone and control the speaker based on the second voice sound.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the housing includes a bottom portion, wherein the bottom portion includes a group of user input devices, wherein the group includes a first input device and a second user input device, wherein the first user input device is configured to control a sound level of the speaker, wherein the second user input device is configured to control a light level of the light source.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the housing includes a network receiver, wherein the network receiver is coupled to the processor, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a third voice sound from the user positioned in the operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the third voice sound from the microphone, cause the network receiver to receive a music from a network appliance, and cause the speaker to output the music.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the speaker is waterproof or water resistant.
13. The method of claim 2 , wherein the light source is a first group of light sources arranged in a first line and a second group of light sources arranged in a second line, wherein the reflective mirror extends between the first line and the second line.
14. The method of claim 2 , wherein the light source is a first light source, wherein the housing includes a second light source and a sensor, wherein the sensor is configured to sense the user within a preset distance therefrom and cause an activation of the second light source.
15. The method of claim 3 , wherein the voice sound is a first voice sound, wherein the housing includes a light source, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a second voice sound from the user positioned in the operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the second voice sound from the microphone and control the light source based on the second voice sound.
16. The method of 15 , wherein the light source is a first group of light sources arranged in a first line and a second group of light sources arranged in a second line, wherein the reflective mirror extends between the first line and the second line.
17. The method of 15 , wherein the housing includes a bottom portion, wherein the bottom portion includes a group of user input devices, wherein the group includes a first input device and a second user input device, wherein the first user input device is configured to control a sound level of the speaker, wherein the second user input device is configured to control a light level of the light source.
18. The method of 15 , wherein the light source is a first light source, wherein the housing includes a second light source and a sensor, wherein the sensor is configured to sense the user within a preset distance therefrom and cause an activation of the second light source.
19. The method of 3 , wherein the housing includes a network receiver, wherein the network receiver is coupled to the processor, wherein the microphone is configured to receive a second voice sound from the user positioned in the operational proximity to the reflective mirror and the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to process the second voice sound from the microphone, cause the network receiver to receive a music from a network appliance, and cause the speaker to output the music.
20. The method of 3 , wherein the speaker is waterproof or water resistant.
